Melissa Bybee-Fields, Chair introduced herself and the Vice-Chairs, and Brenda Erickson of NCSL. Chair asked Brenda Erickson to explain the committee and its process for all the new members.
Brenda suggested that we limit the topic areas to 2 or 3 topics to keep the survey under 20 pages.
The following topics were discussed:
Conference Committee conflicts
Messaging and bill recall between the chambers, the Governor, and the Secretary of State
Technical Amendments
Debate Limits
Ethics (not revised in ILP since 1996)
Technological aspects of streaming videos and other technological advancements
Co-chair Pat Mau-Shimizu (HI) suggested we pick one "bread and butter" issue from the document to update and one new or futuristic topic.
Steven James (MA) suggested that as a committee we look into how to promote and advertise the ILP document more to members.
Possibly putting something in the Administrator with the web address.
The Chair informed the members that she would communicate with all members next week to get the email communication going and possibly the NCSL listserv up and running.
There being no further business, Polly Emerson (TX) moved to adjourn.
The motion was seconded by Steven James (MA).
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Melissa Bybee-Fields, Chair
